What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2021 Sagitar?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the 2021 Sagitar is 50 liters. This data is announced by the car manufacturer, and owners of the 2021 Sagitar can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. It is recommended to refuel when the fuel level is between 10%-30%. The fuel pump relies on the gasoline in the tank for cooling, and prolonged low fuel levels may cause the fuel pump to overheat. Additionally, low fuel levels can easily draw in impurities from the oil pan, leading to clogged fuel lines. The 2021 Sagitar 200TSI Manual Fashion Smart Connect Edition has a displacement of 1.2(L), uses 95-octane fuel, and has a fuel consumption of 5.5(L/100km). A full tank can cover a distance of 909km. The 2021 Sagitar 280TSI-DSG-30th Anniversary Edition has a displacement of 1.4(L), uses 95-octane fuel, and has a fuel consumption of 5.6(L/100km). A full tank can cover a distance of 892km. The actual capacity of the fuel tank is greater than the nominal capacity. According to fuel safety regulations, national standards stipulate that the rated capacity of a car's fuel tank is 95% of its nominal capacity. Therefore, when refueling, the fuel quantity can exceed the rated capacity by 10%. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the fuel quantity may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the capacity marked by the car manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand with rising temperatures without overflowing. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual fuel quantity may exceed the marked capacity. Other factors affecting fuel consumption include: Vehicle weight: There is a direct correlation between vehicle weight and fuel consumption. A 10% reduction in weight can lead to a corresponding reduction in fuel consumption. Car design: A lower drag coefficient results in significantly lower fuel consumption. Conversely, a higher drag coefficient increases fuel consumption proportionally. Low tire pressure increases friction and adhesion, leading to higher fuel consumption. Driving habits: Rapid acceleration and frequent braking can significantly increase fuel consumption. Wind direction: Driving with a tailwind reduces fuel consumption, while driving against the wind increases engine workload and fuel consumption. Road conditions: Driving on flat roads consumes less fuel compared to uneven or steep roads. Use of additional electronic devices: Using extra equipment like air conditioning while driving increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving my 2021 Sagitar for almost three years, and it has a 50-liter fuel tank. Based on my daily experience, a full tank usually gets me 500 to 650 kilometers, depending entirely on the road conditions—like in congested city traffic where fuel consumption is higher, it might only go a little over 500 kilometers; on the highway with favorable conditions, it's more fuel-efficient, easily surpassing 600 kilometers. I think the tank capacity is quite reasonably designed, averaging just one refill per week, which isn't too bothersome. When refueling, I usually use 92-octane gasoline, which is affordable and runs smoothly. The fuel tank is located at the rear of the car, sealed tightly with no noticeable odors. Maintenance is simple—just checking the fuel cap's seal. Overall, as a family car, this tank size makes commuting and short trips hassle-free, without constantly worrying about gas stations.
